Seminole Visit

Hubby and I have spent the last four days at our home in Seminole Co. GA.  While there I visited a couple of thrift shops and came away with some really cute stuff.  Everything you see here for $14.00.


This little guy was only $1.00.
 

                                 These 2 pictures were $1.00 each. 
                                    I hung them in the guest room.

                   This strawberry tray is really nice and was only $1.50.
She had one with blue colors and a hummingbird.  Now I wonder why I
                                      didn't get it as well. ???

                                       This little dish was ten cents.
                    This pitcher was $3.00.  Handpainted in Portugal.

This cute little fellow was $2.00.  He matches the rooster on my plate that
                 I bought at the same store a couple of months ago.

                 I love these wire chickens.  The eggs are made of wood.
 This was a fun trip to the thrift store and gave me some new goodies to play with.  The wire chicken, tray and rooster were added to the hutch in the kitchen.  Everything in this hutch belonged to my mother in law except the angel, bird house and the items I purchased today.  She had some great items
for decorating, but most were packed in boxes.  It's so much fun to go through the boxes and come up with "new to me" treasures.  I will be sharing some other items I have found that were hers in future blogs.  I found an awesome
treasure that I am so excited about.  Coming soon!!


Hope you're finding some great thrifty treasures.

I'm linking to Linda's party, junkin' finds.  Bring your treasures and come too.  It's lots of fun!!!

Linens & Things

I love finding tablecloths, runners, napkins, and other linens when I am out thrifting. Whether it be at consignment shops, GW, or yard sales, I will usually snap up a pretty linen if it doesn't have a lot of stains.  I will show you some of my favorites. I found several pieces embroideried with this design at a favorite consignment shop. This blue runner (reversible to stripes), found on consignment. This is one of the nicer quality tablecloths I have found, $4.00 at a thrift store. This cloth was around $10.00 on consignment. This runner is also reversible to polka dots, and was a consignment find. This pink and white gingham is perfect in the sun room, and is a consignment find also. This is the most valuable table cloth I have found, and it was $2.00 at a nearby yard sale.  It is a vintage Wielunder.  They sell on ebay for 30 - 90 dollars.  Mine is in pristine condition! Christmas tablecloth, consignment sale. ...

Trash to Treasure

We had noticed this "jar" sitting near a trash pile, and my husband decided to see what it was.  It was full of dirt, and covered in grime.  After soaking it a while, it looked much better. The shape and color is very nice. At first I thought it might be a globe for a lamp or some type of candle holder. The bottom has an opening, and no markings. Do you know what it might be? This is how I'm using it. It's made of thick bubbled glass. Any guesses?? Know what this was in its former life?   It makes a wonderful vase for faux flowers! It's a vintage fly /wasp trap!!   Once yucky, now pretty!!!

What's in the Hutch?

Yesterday I awoke in the mood to do some "deep" cleaning.  First on my list was to dust inside the china cabinet in the dining room.  Can you believe how much dust can get into a closed cabinet.  Really, how does that happen?  My cabinet has glass shelves and they were hazy with dust.  This is a rather tedious job because I not only have china inside, I have all kinds of little "pretties" stored there too.  It's one of the first things you see upon entry into our home, so I really should do this more often.  I want show you the before, sufficeth to say, it had been a while since I had tackled this chore.  Here are some photos showing the "after". Here is a collection of vases and crystal pitchers .   These were all gifts except the smallest one in the front and the one to the right of it. China and a consignment shop cake plate.  The china was formerly my MILs. More china . This little fairy lives here with her 2 sisters. They ...
